Chewy and my relationship has been progressing a bit as of late, so I let the birds out and asked Chewy to step up from his cage door, just to see what would happen....  |

I have to say, before he passed away my dad suffered Grand Mal seizures from time to time. He usually would fall asleep afterward and stay out for the rest of the day/night. However, on the Friday before he died he had his last one. His ex-sister in law was visiting, so my mom took the opportunity to run some errands. I had just stopped by to visit, and had only been there a few minutes when he started twitching. I immediately went to him and held him, so he wouldn't hit his head on the rail of his hospital bed. I won't go into detail, but afterward I felt him start to relax and told him to go to sleep. He only slept for about 10 minutes, then he was awake and alert, talking to visitors (which was good, because he lost the ability to speak on Saturday).
Anyway....I think Peppy had a seizure, too.

I don't know how spiritual you all are, but I'm going to tell you about this. It was really nice (but sad)...I woke up at about 4:30am the other day, because I felt something on my cheek. I opened my eyes and saw my dad beside me, and he had his hand on my cheek. We didn't say anything, but it was very comforting. |

Hi all! Zach and I have been dealing with this for awhile, and I don't know how to handle it.
When I'm home by myself I let the birds out as much as possible. When Zach comes home I put them away so they won't escape, and they stay in their cages for awhile so he can relax.
The problem is, when he's home, Taz starts screaming. It's loud and high pitched and drives Zach crazy. We ignore it at first, then Zach says to me "Dani, talk to your bird, please!" and when that doesn't work Zach yells at Taz and finally gets up to cover the cage, at which point Taz shrieks his alarm call, which makes Zach even madder.
I have no idea what to do, but we have to do something because this scenario happens almost every day and triggers my anxiety.
Help!

Thank you so much, everyone. I'm getting used to the changes, but it's not easy.

I know you just went through this exact same thing, Julianna. My only hesitation in posting it was "What if Julianna can't take it right now? What if it's too soon?"
(((((HUGE BIG HUGS))))) to you. I'm so sorry for your loss. It feels like a bad dream sometimes, doesn't it?

Thanks, Angela. On the 19th it will be exactly 25 years since he had the first Grand Mal seizure and his brain tumor was discovered. There have been many ups and downs in that time, but really his life was relatively normal. He's amazing. There have been times when I haven't been around the forum much, but with all of the turmoil lately, reading your posts has been therapeutic. So thank you for that. Oh Dani, sounds like things have been tough for a while for you all I'm glad to hear being on this forum and reading everyone's posts has brought a little cheer to you We found out my Dad had cancer in September 2003 (which was a year after I had cancer) and he passed away in August 2006, 8 days after his 67th birthday. It was an incredibly hard time for all. My Dad was the most kind and caring person I've ever know and was in my life every single day. Was so hard to loose him. But concentrating on things we love and being with people we love is what gets us through difficult times like that.. So again I am glad everyone here can bring you a little cheer Take care Ang Oh, Ang, my heart hurts for you, as well. I hate cancer! (((((BIG HUGE HUGS))))) |
